Most of the P1s in recent history have been caused by changes. Now all changes are under the microscope. The new CTO Steve Fernandez has been attending all change board meetings. The freeze is being implemented so the change process can be looked at and "improvements" put in place. Can't wait to see what they implement. Change control process has been a PoS since Chris Gates f—ed it up royally,
I know certain folks were cut and the offshore replacements couldn't do the job, so certain systems are now having issues. Guess they'll have to rehire who they fired as consultants.
Also, watch for exodus of H1B FTE talent. IT management made clear to all employees they are firing more people in the next 2 years, replacing with offshore people. If these folks get riffed, they get deported if they don't find a new job. So many are looking elsewhere for a more stable situation. So am I.
A big RIF is planned in IT for the next couple of weeks. I think mgmt wants to make sure that there are no major outages during this period.
We all know why but, it's not said aloud. We have shifted our operations over to 3rd party dum dums. These overseas folks are in a constant fubar mode. How's those savings working out? They believe that clamping down on change controls will make them pause and figure out how not to continuesly scr-w the pooch on changes. Right. This is what AIG deserves for casting aside excellent talent for overseas "dont care" 3rd party BS. Bitter? Da-n straight.....good people gone or let go and we are left with this train wreck.
